Qualifying for the municipal election will be held from Aug. 21 through Aug. 24. Anyone wishing to qualify can do so on those dates between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Council members on Jan. 9 voted to set the qualifying fee for a council seat at $180 for this year's election.

The council also voted to accept the county's intergovernmental agreement to hold the election at the county's board of elections office.
